Business WiFi designed forreal-world coverage.
Mesh networks, separate guest portals, PCI-compliant segmentation. No more dead zones, no more workarounds.
Business WiFi pain points we hear every week.
If any of these feel familiar, it's not a tech problem — it's a provider problem.
"Half the office has no signal."
One router, three floors, 30 people. Predictable result — dead zones, dropouts, complaints. Worked for the office in 2015, not anymore.
"Guest WiFi is on the same network as the till."
Customer downloads malware, hits your card terminal. PCI compliance breach. Nobody segmented the networks.
"Staff are streaming on our customer WiFi."
No controls. No priority. The barista watching TikTok is choking the card-machine network during the lunch rush.
"WiFi drops when we move between zones."
No seamless roaming. Staff phones flicker between APs. Calls drop. Stocktake scanners hang. Productivity loss everywhere.
"We can't do guest captive portals."
Want to capture customer data, run promos, stay GDPR-compliant? Need proper captive portal software. Your domestic router won't do it.
"WiFi was installed by my mate's nephew."
Lovely lad. No documentation, no plan, no SSIDs separated. When something breaks, nobody knows where any of it is.
Business WiFi done properly.

Our team can see your network remotely. New AP needed? We ship and remote-configure.
Built for businesses that need reliability, speed and control.
Coverage designed, not guessed.
Most failed business WiFi installs share the same root cause: nobody ran a proper WiFi survey. Concrete walls, foil insulation, metal shelving and steel doors block 2.4GHz and 5GHz differently. Our engineers run an on-site predictive WiFi survey AND a post-install validation survey so the design is grounded in physics, not optimism.
Predictive WiFi survey
Engineer walks the building with a WiFi survey tablet, captures floor plan, identifies obstacles, recommends AP placement based on RF prediction software. You see the WiFi heatmap before we install — no guesswork.
Multi-AP mesh design
For larger buildings, multiple WiFi 6 access points working as a mesh — single SSID, seamless roaming, no dead zones. Devices switch APs automatically as users walk through the building.
VLAN segmentation
Guest WiFi on a separate VLAN from staff and till systems. PCI-DSS compliant. Card payments isolated from any visitor or IoT device. Multiple SSIDs (e.g. Staff, Guest, IoT, Phones) running over the same physical infrastructure.
QoS for voice & video
Quality-of-Service rules prioritise VoIP and video conferencing traffic over guest browsing. Calls stay clear even when the WiFi is busy with non-business traffic.
Captive portal & guest WiFi
Branded login page for guest WiFi (e.g. "Connect to TelexicoCafe WiFi"). Collect email opt-ins, terms acceptance, optional social login. GDPR-compliant data capture for marketing list growth.
Post-install validation
After install, second on-site survey with the actual hardware in place. Verifies signal strength matches the design, identifies any post-deployment dead zones (e.g. things you didn't tell us about). We fix any gaps before sign-off.
Enterprise platforms — for businesses that need to grow.
Telexico installs business-grade WiFi platforms with proper central management, firmware update pipelines, multi-site dashboards, and support for the next generation of WiFi standards. The kit we install today is still relevant in 5 years.
Business WiFi vs the consumer router from Argos.
Business WiFi is a professionally designed wireless network built for commercial environments — high device counts, multiple access points, continuous business-critical traffic. Unlike standard home routers, enterprise WiFi systems are centrally managed, scalable, designed for roaming, and engineered around the actual physics of RF propagation in your specific building. Modern business WiFi infrastructure supports staff devices, guest access, EPOS systems, VoIP phones, CCTV, IoT devices and cloud applications simultaneously across a single managed platform.
Designed for high device density
Business WiFi APs are engineered to handle 50-200+ concurrent devices each — staff laptops, phones, customer devices, EPOS terminals, IoT sensors. A consumer router buckles at 20 concurrent devices; a business AP keeps every connection smooth.
Centrally managed
Every AP, every SSID, every VLAN, every firmware version managed from one cloud dashboard. Update 50 APs across 10 sites with one click. Monitor every client device in real time. Consumer kit has none of this.
Security-segmented
Multiple VLANs running over the same hardware — separate networks for staff, guests, EPOS, CCTV, IoT and phones. PCI-DSS-compliant guest isolation. Compromised guest device can't reach your till system. Consumer routers run everything flat on one network.
Seamless roaming
802.11k/v/r fast-handoff protocols mean a user walking from one end of a building to another stays on the same call, the same video meeting, the same file transfer — without re-authenticating. Consumer extenders typically drop and reconnect.
Power over Ethernet (PoE)
Business APs are PoE-powered — one Cat6 cable carries data + power. Cleaner installs, no separate AP power adapter, AP can be ceiling-mounted anywhere with a network drop. Consumer kit needs a wall socket near every device.
Predictable performance under load
Business APs use dynamic channel assignment, airtime fairness and proper QoS — every device gets its fair share even when the network is busy. Consumer routers prioritise whoever shouts loudest, which is usually the kid streaming Netflix.
Why your old Sky Hub isn't doing what you need.
Most business WiFi problems come from one root cause: someone tried to make a consumer router do enterprise work. The kit your broadband provider shipped you is built for a 2-bedroom flat with 6 devices — not a 30-person office, 50-cover restaurant, or 5,000sqm warehouse. The problems below are nearly universal in small businesses still relying on consumer-grade WiFi.
Home routers aren't built for high density
Consumer routers struggle with dozens of simultaneous devices, roaming users and business-critical traffic. The CPU saturates, packets drop, calls disconnect, video meetings stutter. The kit is doing its best — it just wasn't engineered for this.
No central management or visibility
Most home WiFi systems provide limited monitoring, no remote troubleshooting, no per-device visibility. When WiFi goes down at 8am on Monday, you're rebooting a router in a cupboard and hoping. Enterprise WiFi tells you exactly which AP, which client, which problem.
Coverage gaps and dead zones
Large offices, warehouses and multi-floor premises require professionally designed access point placement. Consumer routers cover one room reliably; everything else is wishful thinking. WiFi extenders don't fix this — they halve throughput at every hop.
Security risks
Business environments require separate VLANs, staff networks, guest isolation, RADIUS/802.1X authentication and proper segmentation. Consumer kit runs guests on the same flat network as your till and CCTV — one compromised guest device can reach everything.
VoIP and video meeting failure
Consumer routers don't prioritise voice traffic. A staff member running a backup, a guest streaming video, or background sync all compete equally with your VoIP calls. Result: choppy calls, dropped meetings, frustrated users — none of it fixable without business kit.
No firmware update pipeline
Consumer routers ship with year-old firmware and rarely auto-update. Security vulnerabilities go unpatched. Business APs auto-update on a controlled schedule, with rollback if anything breaks.
Where Telexico deploys enterprise WiFi.
Telexico installs business WiFi across every UK commercial sector. Configuration differs — a warehouse needs high-density scanner-friendly coverage; a hotel needs guest-friendly captive portal with no captive-portal-hated PCs locking up — but every business benefits from professionally designed wireless infrastructure built for their specific environment.

Frequently asked questions
How many access points will I need?
Depends on premises size, building materials and user count. A typical small office (60sqm, 20 users) needs 2 APs. A multi-floor restaurant needs 3-5. We do a free survey before quoting.
Can you reuse my existing kit?
Sometimes. If you have decent Ubiquiti or Aruba kit, we can adopt it into a managed setup. Old TP-Link/Netgear consumer kit gets retired.
Will guest WiFi capture customer data?
Yes — our captive portal collects email or social login (with GDPR consent), so you can build a marketing list of actual visitors.
Is it PCI-compliant?
Yes — we VLAN-segregate guest from card-machine and till traffic. Required by PCI-DSS.
What about WiFi for outdoor areas?
Outdoor-rated APs from £400+ each. We design coverage during the survey — including outdoor seating, smoking areas, car parks.
How fast is the WiFi?
WiFi 6 APs deliver 1Gbps+ to individual devices on modern phones/laptops. Real-world speed is limited by your broadband — we always check the underlying internet first.
Can you install in multiple sites?
Yes — we do multi-site rollouts regularly. One dashboard, consistent configuration, central support across every location.
What is managed WiFi?
Managed WiFi means Telexico monitors, maintains, updates and supports your WiFi infrastructure rather than leaving it to you. Includes firmware updates, performance monitoring, remote troubleshooting, configuration changes and proactive issue resolution — typically before users notice anything wrong.
Do I need a WiFi site survey before installation?
Yes — for any business install. Buildings vary enormously in how WiFi propagates: concrete walls, foil insulation, metal shelving, steel doors all affect coverage differently. A predictive site survey identifies the right number and placement of access points before install begins. Skipping the survey is the most common cause of failed business WiFi deployments.
What is WiFi 6 and do I need it?
WiFi 6 (802.11ax) is the current-generation wireless standard, designed for high-density environments. Compared to WiFi 5, it handles more concurrent devices per AP, delivers higher real-world throughput and uses spectrum more efficiently. Recommended for any new business install — futureproofs the deployment for 5+ years.
How many access points do I need?
Depends on building size, layout, materials and device count — not just floor area. A 200sqm open-plan office might need 2 APs; a 200sqm warehouse with racking might need 4-6. The site survey produces the exact count. As a rough rule: small office or shop = 1-2 APs; mid-size venue = 3-5; warehouse or multi-floor office = 6+.
